Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) Baits Elon Musk. "I'll Pay Your Filing Fee to Run Against Me."
There's this article on Wikipedia about Nehls, that I'm sure Elon would remind everyone in the Texas 22nd should he decide to run for Congress (and even if he does NOT run for Congress):
And this:
I wonder what Elon might do with this information that likely isn't widely known among the voters of the Texas 22nd?
Mmmm... Where did I put those stamps?
In October 2008, Nehls was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge for his service in Afghanistan in March 2008. In March 2023, the military rescinded the award of the badge to Nehls, because he was not eligible to receive it – he was neither an infantryman nor a special forces operator, but was instead a civil affairs officer. The revocation became public in May 2024. Nehls continued to wear the badge, saying that he disagreed with the revocation, and that he believed "this is a concerted effort to discredit my military service and continued service to the American people as a member of Congress." Nehls subsequently stopped wearing the badge owing in large part to these stolen-valor claims against him.
And this:
On March 26, 2024, the United States House Committee on Ethics announced Nehls was the subject of an investigation. The committee did not specify the focus of the investigation, but Nehls said it was related to his campaign's finances. On May 10, 2024, the independent Office of Congressional Ethics reported its findings that probable cause was determined, indicating that Nehls had converted campaign funds for personal use, and recommended further review.
